** AUSTRIA [and non]. 5930v, June 17 at 0030, LAH from two signals,
about 40 Hz either side of 5930.000, one of them talk in unID
language; helped by absence of WWCR-3 from 5935 until carrier on at
*0036, and deadly Gene Scott modulation cut on at 0041. After that to
avoid splash, LSB tuning preferred. 0105 recheck, only one very weak
signal circa 5930. EiBi and Aoki/NDXC agree that the only thing on
5930 is BBC Dari via Moosbrunn at 0030, but supposed to continue at
0100 in Pashto. Is the Moosbrunn site now subjected to
offfrequenciness or other problems? Or could transmissions have been
shifted to another site more capable of inaccuracy, such as UAE? As of
16 June, HFCC still shows Austria, 300 kW at 95 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 413-MCW kHz, June 16 at 0620 UT, dash and YHD, 250 watt NDB
at Dryden, Ontario; presumably what I copied as YHM.

Lake, Ontario. Storm noise level not bad tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

or VP, some stronger with S-readings: 14920; 13920 S4-S6; 13160;
13070; 13020 stronger; 12880 S5-S8; 12550 S5-S8; 11460; 11440; 11170
S3-S5; 11150; 11100; 11070; 10820.

1436, extremely distorted spurblobs out of 13700-AM RHC; the inner
ones much stronger than the outers; with F# tone. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

QRM, instead of upon an Algerian relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Chris is a Broadcast engineer and has tweaked the knobs on many
broadcast transmitters. He enjoys building, tinkering, and playing
with all sorts of RF gear, antennas, and computers. Loves Dxing,
working the low bands and frequents 160 meters. During the latest
solar Cycle, Chris managed to fill in a few remaining blanks and
completed the ARRL Five band DXCC award 80 through 10 meters! The
transmitter photo is one of the original transmitters used at KDKA
through the early 1970's along with a few other pics from the KDKA
archives shown below. Scroll down the page to see various photos from
around the WA3PBL ham shack along with a few pics of the antenna farm.
The main 160/80 meter transmit antenna consists of a 3- wire shunt fed
unipole built around the Rohn tower supporting the legendary Moseley
TA-33 tri-bander. Thanks for stopping by ! smiley
